Color tunable green-yellow-orange-red erbium/europium codoped fluorolead germanate glass phosphor for application in LED illumination technology

Color tunable wide gamut light covering the greenish, yellow-green, yellow, orange, and reddish tone chromaticity region in europium/erbium co-doped lead-cadmium-germanate PbGeO3:PbF2:CdF2 glass phosphor is presented. The phosphors were synthesized, and their light emission properties examined under UV/blue light-emitting-diode excitation. Luminescence emission around 525, 550, 590, 610, and 660 nm was obtained and analyzed as a function of Eu/Er concentration, excitation wavelength, and glass host composition. The color tunability was actually obtained via proper combination of Er3+ and Eu3+ active ions concentration. The combination of the emission tone with a blue LED in the region of 400-460 nm, yields a mixture of light with color in the white-light region presenting a CCT in the range of 2000 to 4000 K. Results indicate that the color-tunable fluorolead germanate erbium/europium co-doped glass phosphor herein reported is a promising novel contender for application in LED-based solid-state illumination technology
